What it is for

Leave from work

Days you were too unwell to work, for your employer's leave records.

College or school

Missed classes, attendance shortfall or a missed internal assessment.

Other official leave

Any organisation that asks for a medical certificate to support sick leave.

Office leave from anywhere in India

Apply from Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru or anywhere else; the doctor reviews your application online while you rest at home.

Acceptance depends on the receiving organisation’s requirements. Check whether they need a specific format before you apply.

Prepare your application

Have the patient's identity and age, recipient details, requested dates, relevant medical history, current medicines and supporting records ready. If applying for a child or someone else, include your relationship and authority to act.

Ask the recipient whether they require a named format, original paper copy, recent measurements or an in-person examination. Upload any required format and evidence during the application. The clinician may request further information before deciding.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Apply online

    Tell us what the certificate is for, the dates and your symptoms or condition. Provide the required evidence, choose a package, review your answers and pay.

  2. Step 2

    A doctor reviews your application

    A registered medical practitioner reviews it. They may ask for more information, a call or teleconsultation, reports, or an in-person examination.

  3. Step 3

    Receive it if approved

    The signed certificate is sent by WhatsApp and email. If it can’t be issued, a refund follows our refund policy.

What you get

A medical certificate is a doctor’s professional opinion. It is only worth something if a registered practitioner actually assessed you and is accountable for what they signed. That is why there is no automatic issuance here, and why some applications need a call, reports or an examination first.

Questions

How do I get a medical certificate for sick leave?
Fill in the online form with the dates you were unwell, your symptoms and any reports or doctor's notes you have, then pay for the package you choose. A registered doctor reviews the application and may message or call you. If the doctor can certify your illness, you receive a signed PDF with a QR code; if not, no certificate is issued and the refund policy applies.
Who can give a medical certificate for leave?
A registered medical practitioner (MBBS or higher, registered with the National Medical Commission or a State Medical Council) who has assessed your illness. On PingMeDoc every certificate is reviewed and signed by such a doctor, and their registration number is printed on it.
Is a certificate issued online valid?
A certificate issued by a registered medical practitioner after an appropriate assessment is a valid medical certificate, whether the assessment was remote or in person. Whether a particular organisation accepts it depends on its own rules, so check whether they need a specific format or an in-person examination.
Will my office accept an online sick leave certificate?
Most employers accept a certificate from a registered doctor that states the dates and that you were unfit for work. Some ask for their own format or an in-person examination, so check your HR policy first; if they have a format, upload it while applying.
I am in Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi or Bengaluru. Can I apply?
Yes. The certificate is the same wherever you are in India, so the application is the same from any city. The doctor reviewing it is registered in India, and the certificate can be checked from anywhere using its QR code.
Can the certificate cover days that have already passed?
Only if the doctor can assess them. Leave that began shortly before you apply can often be certified from your history; the doctor will not certify dates they cannot assess, and requests more than six months in the past are not accepted.
Can the doctor use my organisation's format?
Yes. Upload the format while applying; it adds ₹250. The doctor completes it only with what they can certify.
How much does a sick leave certificate cost?
Digital packages start at ₹699. Handwritten scans and shipping are separate package choices. Your selected package, total, review timing and refund terms are shown before payment. Issuance depends on the clinician’s assessment.
What happens if the doctor can't issue the certificate?
The doctor may first ask for more information, a call or reports. If they decide a certificate isn't appropriate, it isn't issued and a refund is processed under our refund policy, which may deduct a doctor review fee.
How can my employer or college check the certificate?
Each certificate has a unique number and a QR code. Scanning the code or opening its verification link confirms the certificate was issued through PingMeDoc and has not been revoked.
